pandagirl Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I guess I'm just writing this because I have no one else to talk to. I've suffered from depression since I was a teen, and I'm pretty good at dealing with it, but for the past couple of weeks, I've been feeling off, which has progressed to me crying, wanting to sleep all day and having no appetite. I never let anyone see me like this, because I don't want people to feel sorry for me or appear weak. I do a good job at keeping it together. People think I'm the happiest, smiley person, but when I'm by myself, I just crawl into bed and sleep the afternoon away. It makes me feel so alone, but I understand I create my own loneliness because I can't tell anyone how I'm feeling. This isn't a pity party, but sometimes I just need to feel like I'm connecting with anything.
Mag-Lone-Freak Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I know how you feel, thats why I'm on here often....to reach out and feel company... Going to cafes on my free time sure helps me... I need to be around people or else I feel like I'm wasting precious time in my passing youth thats running so fast...and being around people helps me stay sane, otherwise I let my ocd and other dilemmas really get to me... Just appreciate all the good things in your life and stay strong by realizing depression, while sometimes making you in a way smarter, is a waste of time...
Weird Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 You probably won't take up the offer but feel free to PM me whenever you want to express your feelings and stuff. I'm a good listener and I think I can be insightful too.
laRubiaBonita Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 have you ever taken any meds for your depression? i am off meds now, for maybe 5-6 years, but winter time really depresses me. i do not know if it's winter where you are.... regardless.... try a multivitamin..... especially one with Vit. D. have you ever tried tanning? NOT for the tan, but for the solar rays? it REALLY does help! actually i am thinking of doing 1 session a week for light therapy. the UV (like sun) aids in the natural production of Vit. D, which helps seretonin intake- which helps your mood. Also vit. D needs calcium to absorb into your body, so make sure you are getting enough calcium- which is the whole reason for a multivitamin.
jadelil25 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I understand how you feel. Im going through depression at the moment. Im the total opporsit to you tho. I am so proud of you being strong. I try to be, but im not, i get weak. Wish I coul be strong like you. I find that talking to people helps. Talk to your friends, im sure they would be willing to listen or talk to someone professional if you find it easier. I find my self feeling guilty talking to friends because I worry that I will loose them and I feel guilty about going on about my own problems. Spend time with friends and family as well. Go out to the cinema, for meals and drinks, ice skating ,dancing. Try to have some fun.
